The narrative point-and-click adventure Reviver finally has an official release date: January 21st, according to its iOS listing. This intriguing title casts you as a sort of observer, making subtle changes with far-reaching consequences in the lives of two star-crossed lovers.
We’ve previously covered Reviver, highlighting its upcoming release and subsequent store listings. Developer CottonGame will nearly meet its proposed winter release, launching on January 21st.
Reviver offers a unique romantic narrative. You witness the destined separation of two lovers, subtly altering their lives through small actions that create significant ripples, ultimately aiming to unite them. This unfolds from the perspective of a single room, a highly experimental approach.
A Butterfly's Effect
While Reviver may not revolutionize mobile gaming, its originality is captivating. The concept of weaving a complete story solely through the objects and details within a single room is unconventional. This might deter some players, but its evocative potential could resonate deeply with others, potentially surpassing more melodramatic games in the genre.
